Our original contract states that a customer is responsible for legal fees incurred to collect a debt, as well as interest on balances over 30 days. when filing a lien, am I able to include those fees in the total contract amount?

New YorkOn a public project in New York, what is the deadline to file a bond claim? Is there any period of time after finishing the project that is required to wait before a claim can be filed? Is the deadline the same for a subcontractor as it is for a sub-subcontractor?
New YorkWe needed our main beam in our house replaced (we where told). When we did the first contract, (I can not find mine, and he says it is the one from where I rcvd the loan). A majority of the work was found not to be needed. I do not believe that we should have to pay him the whole amount, Also, the first estimate was for 15700.00 and with the contractor we decided to push the loan up to 20,000.00 (verbally) so if there were any complications we would have it covered.
New YorkRent to own house in 2010. The contract stated that we were to do all the repairs and upkeep for 4years and that money would be deducted from the price. We made a great deal of repair and upkeep; saving and recording all monies spent.
In 2014 city came to take the property because the landlord never paid the taxes for 4 years. Entered into legations with the cit for the past 3 1/2 years. Our attorney failed to file the latest round of correct paperwork. We were evicted
We would like to put a lien on the property for the amount that we invested in repairs and maintenance.
New YorkWe are trying to fill out the zlien form and when I entered a not for profit it said there were no products available in New York.
New YorkSingle Family Home in NY, Sentricon Termite bate system was installed by last owner with 1 year contract, Contract states that the bait system remains the property of Sentricon.
The house is sold 3 months later, New owner never signed any contract with the pest control company.
9 months after sale the Pest control company asks for renewal fee for the contract or removal of the bait system. The new owner does not allow them on the property to remove the bait system and refuses to renew a contract that was not signed by him.
Can the pest control company put a lien on this house now?
New YorkWe are an engineering firm who worked as as sub for another engineering firm.
We were not bonded. Neither company was required to furnish bonds-since we are engineers, not construction contractors.
Does the Miller Act apply here where there was no bonds?

New YorkI am a senior citizen and have a grant from my USDA mortgage holder to get some capital improvements in my home. The heating contractor was aware of this before the work was done to replace to rusted out baseboard heaters in my basement. At the time of work completion; namely 6pm on a Friday night, the contractor's helper turned on me and demanded full payment of nearly $500.00 for the work. I reminded hm that this was a grant project and that it wasnt me paying the bill. He went out in the driveway to his van and with his megaphone mouth, and in open earshot of the neighbors, began a conversation with his boss about this matter. The boss told the guy to either collect now or turn off my boiler. So the guy came back in and turned off my boiler. Not being stupid, I know full well what was done to this lone senior woman was not only horrendously abusive but totally illegal, and that payment terms are at least 10-30 days, not 10 seconds after the job is done 6 pm on a Friday night. Obviously I had no way of contacting my agent for a check at that time. This contractor needs to be criminally charged, fined, and forced to do a big chunk of community service so that he would NEVER dream of doing this to anyone ever again. Whom do I contact to get his ball rolling?? My agent brought the check on Monday morning and expressed how appalled she was at this treatment. I havent yet called him to come turn on the boiler and collect his check, but I will.
Please dont suggest the attorney general. They have zero legal authority here and dont even rate a broom closet for an office in the state building in Syracuse. They are in some dark corner somewhere down the blvd. and are the equivalent of a bunch of girl scouts selling cookies. I am serious about the guy getting punished and getting it big time!!!! This happened in Marcellus NY
